apically, six- or seven-spined externally, nine-spined internally; 

 anterior and middle legs short, but fairly robust. Last ventral seg- 

 ment of the male abdomen with the main portion a little longer than 

 the basal width, its outer two-thirds with the sides parallel, and ending 

 on either side in short, prominent, rounded lobes; the median portion 

 fully as long as the basal, directed upwards, and. with its apical half 

 slender and directed upward and obliquely, as well as arcuately, to 

 the rear. Cerci rather large, their apical portion transverse, truncated, 

 and with the apex infuscated. Valves of the ovipositor short, their 

 margins six- or seven-toothed, the teeth strong. Prosternal spine 

 large, robust, the apex evenly rounded and directed gently to the rear. 



General color various shades of pale green, white, and testaceous, 

 varied with piceous, ferruginous, brown, and black. These hues 

 are arranged in longitudinal streaks and patches as follows: occiput, 

 cheeks back of the eyes, disc, and upper part of the sides of the pro- 

 notum, meso- and metapleura, and the tegmina, prevailingly some 

 shade of green; the occiput marked with two longitudinal divergent 

 white stripes; the cheeks below, the lower third of the sides of the 

 pronotum and the pleura longitudinally white; also, in the type, a 

 white line running along each side of the disc of the pronotum; above 

 this white lateral line is one of greater or less intensity of piceous, 

 olivaceous, or ferruginous. The disc of the pronotum is usually, 

 ferruginous, vinaceous, or even brown, the abdomen above strongly 

 infuscated, below pallid, the legs testaceous, or greenish strami- 

 mineous. Antennae ferruginous, a little infuscated internally at base 

 and apically. Posterior edge of the last abdominal segment above 

 and the carinae of the supra-anal plate black; wings infuscated. In 

 some specimens there is a somewhat general dark tinting of the whole 

 insect both above and below, when the front, pectus at middle, and 

 underside of the abdomen are vinaceous brown gradually shading off 

 to testaceous and green, or to olivaceous. In some specimens the 

 white lines are quite noticeably tinted with green.
